Hi Tony, Apologies but I have had to change the subject line, for some reason the Ecartis system thinks I am trying to make a subscription change, so here's hoping this goes through! Interesting comments there. Firstly, you can't actually download Infovics, but you can subscribe to the podcast, which will in turn download the mp3 file to your hard disk. However, if people would prefer the option to directly download the magazine I can easily make this change. In particular though, I'm interested to hear your commenting that you prefer a shorter Infovics at more regular intervals, to a more lengthy magazine, say every three months. From a production point of view, a shorter magazine is obviously easier to manage, but of course its only easier because we had very little material to go onto it. Could I get other's views on this? Is a shorter and more regular infovics preferable to a three monthly edition? Regards, Stuart. -----Original Message----- From: vicsireland-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vicsireland-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of tonysweeney Sent: 24 February 2007 20:48 To: vics Subject: [vicsireland] Infovvics/CDExX Hi All, I have just been listening to Febs Infovics online and although it was short, what particularly I was impressed with, was Brian Dalton's mini-tutorial on the ripping programme, CDEX. I have an iAudio player and had been wondering how I could rip tracks to my PC as MP3's so I can then if I wish move them to my iAudio. Anyway, problem solved thanks to his great effort! I haven't received the CD version of the magazine, so if you haven't then just go online and listen! I was trying for a link on the site to download but I couldn't find one! Could someone come to the rescue and tell me how? I can record the item of course but it would be good to be able to download it! Keep up the training element of Infovics, it is very good and very necessary in my opinion. I liked the link to Nationwatch, because sometimes for example when you go away on holidays you might not always be told or even discover a great deal of information about the place you are visiting. Anyway I would prefer a shortened Infovics more often rather than a long one every-so-often. Happy listening. Tony Sweeney.
